Definitions

  • the invention is directed to an opaque transfer label, preferably based on an image transfer system, which label can be applied over pre-existing permanent printed images on substrate surfaces.
  • JP-A 02/137986 the use of a layer containing aluminum particles in a transfer label has been described.
  • This layer has the purpose of reducing the influence of the color of the base material on the image of a label.
  • Image transfer is defined as the process of transferring a reverse printed ink-only image from a backing material (carrier web) onto a receiving surface, such as that of a bottle or a crate.
  • the invention is directed to a transfer label as defined in claim 1.
  • the label according to the invention is based on a backing material and a transfer layer, said transfer layer at least comprising an image layer, an adhesive layer and an opaque pigmented layer between the adhesive layer and the image layer, said opaque pigmented layer comprising a binder material, a pigment and at least 0.1 wt.%, calculated on the basis of the dry weight of the pigmented layer, of aluminium powder.
  • aluminium powder can be kept quite low, up to 5 wt.%, preferably between 0.1 and 1.5 wt.%.
  • the aluminium powder may be used as such, or incorporated in a suitable matrix material such as a fat derivative, incluidng but not limited to fats and oils, fatty acids, fatty acid esters and the like.
  • a suitable matrix material such as a fat derivative, incluidng but not limited to fats and oils, fatty acids, fatty acid esters and the like.
  • aluminium powder with a particle size of between 1 and 100 ⁇ m, preferably between 5 ⁇ m and 50 ⁇ m.
  • the label materials of the invention can comprise various layers, the essential ones being the removable backing layer, at least one image layer, an opaque pigmented layer and an adhesive layer.
  • the actual build-up of the label may vary.
  • the label only consists of the layers described herein. Generally however, more layers are present.
  • the image layer can consist of two or more separate layers, each comprising different colours.
  • a protective layer may be present on top of the image layer, between the image layer and the removable backing layer.
  • the label can be utilized for either removable or permanent applications.
  • removable labels In particular for use on plastic crates which hold bottles, it may be advantageous to use removable labels, more in particular to provide temporary labels for promotional activities, or to indicate the brand of the contents, which can vary depending on changing marketing demands.
  • image transfer is used to define a labelling system, wherein a removable backing layer is reverse printed with a suitable ink and subsequently overprinted with adhesive.
  • a transparent or opaque supporting carrier film on the image, once it has been transferred to the surface.
  • the image (label) only consists of adhesive, ink materials, optionally with a clear protective coating.
  • a general disclosure of this technique is for example disclosed in WO-A 9005088 and WO-A 9005353.
  • Other embodiments of the image transfer system are disclosed in WO-A 9734810, WO-A 0735292, WO-A 9735291 and WO-A 9735290.
  • no-label-look materials such as transparent or semi-transparent labels having a supporting film layer that is incorporated in the label.
  • the preferred embodiment of the label and application according to the present invention will be described first with references to the figure which shows a substrate surface (1) and the label positioned for application.
  • the label is printed on a carrier film (10) which may be any thin film, preferably oriented polypropylene or polyester.
  • (14) is a protective coating which may or may not be employed, depending on the properties and use of the final label.
  • (12) is a release material which coats the carrier film for the purpose of providing a known, low peel force mechanical separation. It may be silicone which is generally applied to the film after the film manufacture.
  • (20) represents all the printed ink material, which may be permanent or removable, depending on the desired characteristics.
  • the ink materials may be as many as eight (8) different colors in one or more layers, some of which may overlay another.
  • (30) represents a layer of adhesive.
  • (40) represents the opaque pigmented layer. It is to be noted that adhesive and opaque pigmented layer may be construed from more than one layer.
  • the printed ink materials can be vinyl, acrylic, urethane or polyester resin based, or combinations thereof, colored with pigments or dyes.
  • the printed adhesive can be a urethane modified acrylic, heat activatable adhesive or any other suitable heat activatable adhesive. For heat activatable adhesive to achieve and maintain tack quickly it may be necessary to heat the substrate surface before the label adhesive is put in contact with it. In some applications it is also possible to use a pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • Convective hot air, oxidizing flame heaters, gas fired infra-red panels and electric ceramic panels can all be used.
  • silicone coated polymer films can be used for the printed carrier film.
  • the invention is applicable to various systems of label handling, including, but not limited to reel-to reel systems and magazine fed systems.
  • Protection of the image against scratching by casual handling as well as insuring its weatherability when subjected to outdoor storage may be achieved with the application of a protective coating, such as a water based acrylic wax emulsion.
  • a protective coating such as a water based acrylic wax emulsion.
  • This can be applied via a roller coater device, which is supplied with coating material through a doctor blade in order to control the amount of coating applied.
  • the coating extends well past the edges of the label image and seals the edges from intrusive moisture. It is also possible to have a protective coating present preprinted on the transfer label.
  • the essential aspect of the invention resides in the use of an opaque pigmented layer between the image layer and the adhesive layer.
  • the said opaque pigmented layer at least consists of an ink resin as a binder, pigment, preferably a white pigment, the said pigment usually being titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and/or calcium carbonate, and aluminium powder.
  • Said aluminium powder is present in an amount of at least 0.1 wt.%, more in particular in an amount of between 0.2 and 5 wt.%, calculated on the weight of the opaque pigmented layer.
  • the ink resin binder for the opaque pigmented layer can be any ink suitable for application in image transfer systems, such as solvent based or water based acrylic, urethane and the like inks, preferably a water based acrylic ink.
  • the two label variants were then transferred onto the surface of a plastic bottle crate, over an existing silk screen printing.
  • the two white layers contained 4 g/m 2 of white pigment, TiO 2 . Even with this large amount of pigment the pre-existing silk screen printing could be visually noticed through the label image. Increase of the amount of pigment was not possible in light of the deterioration of printing and transfer characteristics.
